The Centre for Microscopy Characterisation and Analysis (CMCA) provides access to cutting-edge microscopy and analytical equipment for academic and commercial research purposes. Staff are highly trained and cover a range of disciplines providing fit-for-purpose solutions to high-level research projects.

The event is seen as a “Pick ‘n’ Mix” where visitors can come and join in with anything that takes their fancy. We will showcase capabilities within the CMCA at its principal centres through guided tours of the facilities and workshop-style seminars. There will be plenty of opportunity for networking with CMCA staff during the course of the event, and we are keen to demonstrate how we can add value to your projects.
